Data requirements - Tertiary Admissions Centres

2020 Reporting Requirements

There are small changes to the department's Web Services which allow Tertiary Admission Centres to report in alignment with the 2020 higher education data collection.

Changes have been made to:

Element 327 - Basis of admission - new values have been added to align with data reported in Course Seeker as part of the new admissions transparency platform produced in collaboration between the department and TACs

Element 493 - Highest educational participation prior to commencement has been replaced with the new E620 - Highest Attainment

The LoadApplicationsAndOffersSubmissionIn diagram has been updated to reflect the above changes

The element descriptions for the modified and replacement elements are in the 2020 New TAC Data element specifications.

The web services tech spec v1.10 is available for download and details the requirements for the 2020 University Applications and Offers Data Collection. The tracked version highlights changes against the current version 1.09.

University Applications and Offers Data Collection

The University Applications and Offers Data Collection was established to make available standardised, comprehensive data on applications and offers for university places. The University Applications and Offers Data Collection is used for policy formulation and advice and will provide data for a range of reports to stakeholders and the public.
The data collection includes records for applications, offers and acceptances by domestic applicants for Commonwealth supported places in higher education undergraduate award courses.
